Flogging a Dead Horse

What I loved most: Nothing

What I really hated: Almost everything

The Bad: crappy dialogue, lame jokes, rubbish plotting, awful character animation. The OK: busy battle scenes. The Good: nothing. When will Lucas stop plundering the corpse of the franchise? It would be more productive to watch grass grow.

Clone wars lost to another bot

Reviewer: seven6guy | Sep 01,2008

With 2 highly anticipated animation movies opening in time for the school hols, kids and parents will be flocking to cinemas to catch them. Well to begin with, I wasn't really looking forward to catching Clone Wars after viewing the trailer. I was not wrong when I left the hall feeling the same way. It was not all that bad. There was a story but with animation instead of live actors, the action seemed less engaging. Clone Wars was supposed to be set between Parts 2 and 3 and tells the story of the kidnapping of Jabba the Hutt's baby (dun ask me how the baby came abt) by Count Dukku in his attempt to set the Republic up so that Jabba would join his forces and gain access to routes controlled by him. Even with the introduction of a new apprentice, the banter between them was annoying after some time when they kept going after each others throat. The lighthearted and funny moments, ironically, came from the enemy driods with the funny one-liners before being pulverised. But fans will relish another star wars movie though the animation pales in comparison to Shrek.

What I loved most: Go Jedi !

What I really hated: Poor animation, sadly.

It's been so long since I last heard Star Wars theme music plays across the cinema, but this time, the cinema is empty. Partly because this is a lousy animation that don't really look very appealing. The images looked dead (They don't really feature any emotions) and boring, and you're probably gonna doze off during the 90 minutes duration. The story is pretty much classic and goes on and on. Visuals are mostly on the shooting and bombings, pretty impressive with these D-grade animation to save costs. If they wanted to make an animation movie, try the Beowulf style, though it looks a little dead, but at least the animation is top-notch and looks very real ! But by the end of Clone Wars, you'll either love it or hate it. I'll say it's for kids, but fans may want to take a look.

What I loved most: Lucasarts CG bringing a different dimension to the movie

What I really hated: continuation of The Clone Wars story.....

Watched it last week in Malaysia and I strongly suggest to all SW fans to go and watch this movie. Even theres a NEW vibrant background SW music that combine with all the action in it. Long lived Star Wars !

I am no Star Wars fan. Consider that a disclaimer.

However, that might be a good thing when reviewing "Clone Wars" because it doesn't seem as if George Lucas and Co were trying to strike a chord with the old time fans anyway. If you are one of those people who have intense views on how a lightsaber should be held, then anything Lucasfilm throws at you would be gobbled up with applause anyhow. No - it seems as if this animated feature is either a grand prelude to the main product (the upcoming weekly TV series), or simply an "afterthought", as reported in some news, from the big man himself.

Picking out one of the more interesting conflicts in the "Star Wars" timeline, "Clone Wars" can be seen as a fresh introduction to this new generation of viewers who were not around when Hans Solo first flew the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca. The understanding of the story does not really presuppose special knowledge on the Star Wars universe. One could imagine a 9-year-old going out to buy an Anakin Skywalker tumbler, worshipping his heroism - completely unaware of the dark spiral that would beset the gifted Jedi. Maybe that is what the franchise is going for with this animated feature.

So as to whether an overlong, animated Star Wars episode can work as a movie, the answer seems to be yes. The brother-sister portrayal of new Padawan character Ahsoka Tano and the embattled Anakin Skywalker already hints towards an effort to stretch Star Wars beyond its fanboy-accepted perceptions. Although this isn't "The Incredibles", there is enough story and humour to the battles and complex relationships that begets them Ã¢Â€Â“ enough for first-time viewers to enjoy. Others with a bit more experience on the franchise will ask: isn't that one too many Jedi moves in one movie?

Anyway, end the review this writer must. "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" would probably win some new fans without disappointing the old timers too much. I'll just be staying away from the race allegories that infiltrate the franchise, maybe just concentrate on tiny little dialogue gems, like how shocking it must sound to hear someone playfully call Darth Vader "Skyguy".
